[Lowfer] A trio of signals - 185.3

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 16:22:15 -0500

I am definitely above LEK. I don't understand either, why my signal doesn't
make it. I notice everyday that my relative receive strength on my KW-440 in
the house shows a strong S-4 when I turn the transmitter on usually during
the day hours, and it is S-2 after a while and during the night hours. I am
in the process of building another final amp and am building it exactly as
Bill said to do. Maybe there is a difference in the final design for a
vertical's impedance and the one that Bill brewed up for the loops. I am
using a LEK final amp now. I will get the WA final built tonight if I can
get enough time away from Tyler as Denise is out of town and it is just
Tyler and daddy home all weekend. Sometimes he lets me work at the bench and
other times he has to sit on my lap and that doesn't work when soldering.
Last night I taught him how to cut wire with the snips, but last winter when
I was building the flattop vertical, he managed to figure out how to cut up
my nice Teflon wire for the tophat into little pieces. Hi Hi. I'm glad I had
extra wire. Oh well, I will get it built before the middle of the week at
the latest.

Just can't understand why no success yet Mike. Looking at today's screens
show LEK very solid - at very similar mileage. I shifted the screen down, to
ensure you weren't off the screen, but still nothing positive. I checked the
screen taken by Bryce (BRO) and it shows you 2.5 Hz above Lyle.... so I know
your relative position..... I wonder if BRO trace is LSB or inverted ????
and you are 2.5 Hz below LEK ?

Will keep "capturing" so - don't give up.
